History with “mining” the Metro bridge in Kyiv was invented by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov in order to show his importance and maintain control over the National Guard, which President Vladimir Zelensky wants to reassign to himself.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Nadezhda Savchenko stated this on TV channel 112, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
She ridiculed the way the special operation was organized, and Ukrainian security forces in armored personnel carriers with flags walked across the “mined” bridge.
“Smart people understand that this was a one-man show – Avakov. And he needed him in order to be useful to President Zelensky and beyond. They will continue to divide the National Guard, first of all, and, say, the right to force in the state.
I'll tell you about the “beacons” to which I responded. The first is a man, a soldier from the 8th regiment. Let's remember the “Savchenko-Ruban” case – agents of the SBU, or from the 8th regiment.
How was the special operation to detain... Avakov sent an armored personnel carrier to the bridge. Can you imagine the situation if a real terrorist actually mined a bridge, and the guys are told: “Guys, get on an armored personnel carrier, take a ride, pick it up over a mined bridge. Well, take the flag of Ukraine, it will definitely save you.” Will you go?
You understand that the absurdity of the operation shows its shadow roles. That’s why they came up with the movie themselves, they made the movie themselves,” Savchenko said.
